Hi guys,
I was wondering if there's a better way to install externals than the one I'm using.
After downloading the external library I place it in the /Library/Pd folder, and create a path using Preferences/Path/name. But it seems that in this way Pd does not recognize the objects that are in sub-folders, only those that are directly under the folder name I indicated in the path. So I need to make more paths for each sub-folder. Sometimes externals have more than few sub-folders, and inside those sub-folders one can find more sub-folders...the objects are just scattered all over...rrrrr. I wonder if there's a way to make Pd recognize all the objects without changing the way the objects are organized in the original library.
Many thanks!

You're close, but its easier than that:
http://puredata.info/docs/faq/how-do-i-install-externals-and-help-files-with-pd-extendedIf its a library, then you need to load it using [import mylib] or [declare -lib mylib] objects, where 'mylib' is the name of the library you are loading.
